Forað Lv 1VIII (Ket 17)/6 — illt ‘evil thing’

Forað ek heiti;         fædd var ek norðarla,
hraust í Hrafnseyju,         hvimleið búmönnum,
ör til áræðis,         hvatki er illt skal vinna.

Ek heiti Forað; ek var fædd norðarla, hraust í Hrafnseyju, hvimleið búmönnum, ör til áræðis, hvatki er illt skal vinna.

I am named Forað; I was born in northern parts, valiant in Hrafnsey, loathsome to the farmers, swift to attack, whatsoever evil thing shall be done.
